Local Interstellar Flow Parameters from the First Intersection of IMAP-Lo's Parameter Tubes
Nathan A. Schwadron, Mitchell M. Shen, Fatemeh Rahmanifard +24
The Sun's motion through the interstellar medium creates a flow of interstellar neutral (ISN) atoms through the heliosphere. ISN He, due to its high universal abundance and relativ…

Ionization Rate of Interstellar Neutral Helium from New Horizons/SWAP Observations
MaÅgorzata Antonik, PaweÅ Swaczyna, David J. McComas +2
Interstellar neutral (ISN) atoms enable studies of the physical conditions in the local interstellar medium surrounding the heliosphere. ISN helium, which is the most abundant spec…
